According to reports, Clelia II had suffered engine damage in a severe storm off the coast of Argentina. International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators said in a statement that a wave broke a starboard bridge window and damaged its control electronics.

After declaring an emergency on Tuesday, the National Geographic Explorer ship accompanied the Clelia II and helped them in restoring its communications.

Clelia II resumed its journey alone after the repairs were completed. It is expected to join with an Argentine channel pilot Thursday evening and arrive in Ushuaia, Argentina, early Friday.

Reports said that there are no injuries to passengers, but one member of the crew sustained minor injuries.
